Summary:The FP7 funded TROPOS project approach is to develop a modular multi-use platform for use in deep waters, coupling several activities, amongst which aquaculture production and renewable energy conversion, with a focus on the Mediterranean, tropical and sub-tropical regions. In this paper, the environmental monitoring, safety and security aspects of designing multi-purpose offshore platforms are considered. Contributions of the FP7 NeXOS and PERSEUS projects further emphasise the innovations available for enhancing this approach.
